Detroit Lions FS Glover Quin (undisclosed) left the Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions in the fourth quarter Monday, Sept. 8. He hobbled off the field with an undisclosed apparent lower body injury.

Detroit Lions FS Glover Quin (ankle) said he expects to be ready for the start of offseason workouts after undergoing ankle surgery in February. Quin said he has also been working out with SS James Ihedigbo since the team signed him.

Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham has been impressed by the professionalism of newcomer CB Glover Quin. He mixed in well with the starters during minicamp, and he has been trying to encourage younger players in the secondary. "He is something," Cunningham said. "We had a meeting the other day and I turned to (vice president of pro personnel) Sheldon White and I said, 'Quin.' He goes, 'Professional.' I said, 'That's the best description I've heard.' That's him. All about business every day."

The Houston Texans could place the franchise tag on impending free-agent FS Glover Quin if they can't sign him to a long-term deal but would have to restructure a deal or two to fit him under the salary cap. The team is currently $5.768 million under the cap and the franchise tag tender for safeties is about $7 million.

Houston Texans FS Glover Quin will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but he is hopeful of returning. "Definitely, I would love to be here," Quin said. "I love this organization, I love the city, I love the fans, I love this team. Would love to be here. Hope everything works out to where I can be here, but we'll just have to see."
